Nutrition plays a major role in the maintenance of these parameters at healthy values: If it is well known that a high cholesterol diet is deleterious to the cardiovascular system, it is less known that a diet lacking in Vitamin B6 and B12 hinders proper degradation of homocysteine, a metabolic by product which excessive accumulation is considered as a factor promoting cardiovascular problems.
One Doppelherz aktiv Cardio Vital tablet taken daily helps refill body stores with nutrients that have a positive action on the cardiovascular system.
By optimising homocysteine degradation, Vitamin B6 and B12 have vascular – protective properties. These vitamins are also required to sustain the cell division process that gives rise to millions of red blood cells that our organism has to replace every day, and for the synthesis of haemoglobin which allows these cells to carry oxygen throughout the body.
Vitamin C and E constitute a duo of antioxidants that is important for cell function and protection: these vitamins are required to neutralize free radicals that attack structures in the cell (Vitamin C) or in the cell membranes (Vitamin E).
Vitamin E is particularly effective at preventing excessive oxidation of the cholesterol that travels in the blood stream, which can promote the deposit of atherosclerotic plaques on the inner side of the vessels.
